"Second chance!" Chu Zi replied: "King, the king of Chu is already old. However, the minister heard that the prince of Chu was stubborn, tyrannical, short-sighted, and forgot the righteousness when he saw small profits. Compared with the prince of Chu and the king of Chu, the gap is too far. Once the king of Chu dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, as long as we calculate a little, the new king of Chu will definitely jump into the trap, and this is the second chance. ”

King Qi nodded thoughtfully: "The matter of Prince Chu, the widow has also heard about it. ”

As he spoke, King Qi let out a long sigh again.

When Chu Zi heard this, he immediately asked: "Why is the king sighing, could it be that the minister is not thoughtful?" ”

King Qi shook his head and sighed: "It's not that Xiangguo is not thoughtful, but as soon as the widow heard that the king of Chu was old, he remembered that the widow was not a few years younger than the king of Chu. If the king of Chu is not in charge of the Song State, the widow will not be able to see the decline of the Chu State if he is worried! ”

“···” Chu Zi couldn't respond when he heard this.

After a while, King Qi calmed down, and then said with a smile: "But fortunately, although the widow may not see the decline of the Chu State, the widow's prince is far smarter than the prince of Chu, and he has the demeanor of a widow, waiting for the widow and the king of Chu to die." The next generation of Qi Chu dispute, the widow has confidence! ”

Saying that, King Qi laughed, and for a while, the entire hall echoed with King Qi's cheerful laughter.

Before the laughter fell, a voice came from outside the hall: "King, the north is urgent." ”

Then, in the surprise of the King of Qi, Chen Jia walked in quickly and reported: "King, not long ago, Yan Guo found the main force of the Donghu people, and a decisive battle broke out between the two sides, Yan won a big victory, and the King of Donghu was defeated. Then, just as the Yan army was chasing and killing, the Korean army rushed to the aid of Donghu, and the three-way war, the Yan army was unfavorable, and the Yan country had withdrawn back to the country.

At the same time, because the Donghu people suffered a lot of losses, the king of Donghu had already given up hundreds of miles of grassland close to the Yan Kingdom and moved the people north. ”

King Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a cautious look.

At this time, Chu Zi suddenly smiled and arched his hand to the King of Qi and said, "King, the opportunity has come, the opportunity for us to obtain the northern land of Yuehuai and take the opportunity to make friends with the Chu State has come." ”

King Qi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Yan Guo broke Donghu, although this is not good for Qi State, but it is also an excuse for Qi State.

Thinking about it, he smiled and ordered: "Xiangguo, pass the edict to Zhangzi, kill Yue Wangjiu, and take all the land." Then he gave the head of Yue Wangjiu to the king of Chu and asked for peace with the state of Chu to express the fear of the widows. ”

"Yui."

Yingdu.

Zhaochang, who returned to Yingdu from Daliang, was ordered to preside over the affairs of Yingdu when Ling Yin was vacant and all the important ministers in the court were absent.

At this time, Zhao Chang was overjoyed and reported to Xiong Huaiyu: "King, great joy! The news that the assassin sent back from the state of Qi, that is, after the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Song sent envoys to sue for peace, the state of Qi also sent envoys, intending to sue for peace with our state of Chu. ”

Xiong Huai was overjoyed when he heard this, and Qi Guo also came to sue for peace, which was undoubtedly a major benefit to his next actions and could greatly improve his prestige.

Then, Xianyin Fan Huanyu reported: "The king, the general Jingyang sent back the news that Kuang Zhang, who was in Qinghe City not long ago, suddenly executed Yue Wang Jiu on the grounds that Yue Guo did not provide food. Subsequently, after the Qi State annexed the Yue State, sent an envoy to make peace with Jingyang in Huaiyin City, and left 10,000 troops to stay in Qinghe City, Kuang Zhang led the countries to retreat together. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned.

Kuang Zhang killed Yue Wang Jiu and annexed Yue Huaibei, which means that the Yue Kingdom is completely finished!

What's more critical is that it was not the Chu State that killed the last monarch of the Yue Kingdom, but the Qi State.

This incident is a great benefit to the Chu State to notify Yuedi.

At the same time, this also shows that with the killing of Yue Wangjiu by the Qi State, the destruction of the Yue State by the Chu State has been revealed, and the Qi State has given up on restoring the Yue State.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai couldn't help but feel light, and then smiled lightly: "The war has been going on for more than a year, and now, the war is finally over." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai instructed: "Zuo Yin, pass on the edict of the widow, take Jingyang as the general, and lead an army of 30,000 to guard Huaishui to defend against various countries." With Zhao Ying as the general, he led 10,000 Chu troops to defend Chencheng. With Deng Lingguang as the general, he led 5,000 soldiers to guard the town. The order was sent to the general Jing Que, asking him to immediately lead the army back to Fangcheng.

In addition, he sent an order to Sima of Zhuguo and Rhino Head Yinjun and others, asking them to disband most of the army, take only some elite soldiers, gather 100,000 Yingdu defenders, and return to Yingdu.

Also, he sent an edict to Xiangyang to guard Qu Yuan, let him leave an elite army to guard Xiangyang, and then let him return to Yingdu after arranging Xiangyang's affairs. ”

"Qu Yuan!" When Zhao Chang heard that the King of Chu was going to recall Qu Yuan, he was stunned.

Qu Yuan is coming back!

Moreover, he led the people of Xiangyang, under the siege of the Qin army, held Xiangyang for nearly two months, and returned with the great achievement of fighting for the opportunity to break the enemy.

It seems that Yingdu will have many things from now on!

Thinking about it, Zhao Chang's heart suddenly became a big mess.

On the other side, after Xiong Huai finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Chang did not respond, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, raised his voice and asked, "Zuo Yin, is there something wrong with the widow's edict?" ”

Zhao Chang heard this, and hurriedly replied: "King, Fang Caichen is just thinking, now that the armies of various countries have just withdrawn, it is too early to withdraw the troops at this time, and the Song State has seized a large amount of land from our Chu State, should we let the Zhu State send troops to repel the Song army and recover the lost territory." ”

Xiong Huai shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, the widows on the Song side have their own plans, and now is not the time to recover the lost land." ”

Zhao Chang heard the words and replied: "Only! ”

Then, Xiong Huai commanded again: "Spread the edict, this time the Chu State can break the countries, thanks to the cooperation of the ministers to resist the six countries. Therefore, the widow decided to summon the nobles of the whole country in advance, and a month and a half later, a great court meeting was held in Yingdu to entertain the ministers. ”

"Yui."

With the passage of time, envoys from various countries arrived in Yingdu one after another, among which the Korean envoy Uncle Gong was the first to arrive.

In the Chu Palace.

Xiong Huai looked at his uncle with a cold face and said: "Uncle, you and I have known each other for decades, and we can be regarded as old friends.

However, the widow never expected that when you were still the prime minister of Han, Uncle Gong, South Korea would join forces with other countries to attack the widows, among which the Gongzhong even besieged the widow town of Wancheng for a time. ”

When the uncle heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that the king of Chu would be furious, because he only cared about angering Korea, so he would be finished.

So, with a look of shame on his face, he hurriedly bowed and said: "The king, the ministers are ashamed, they are ashamed of the king, but Korea is small, and all countries meet to fight Chu, and South Korea does not dare to disobey." With the support of the Qin State, the Gongzhong is in charge of attacking Chu, and the ministers are also weak, and there is no way to stop them..."

Before Uncle Gong finished speaking, Xiong Huai waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget about the past, what the widow wants to know now is, why did you come this time, Uncle." ”

When the uncle heard this, he immediately surrendered his hand and said: "Great King, after the prince returned to China, the widow, under the persuasion of his ministers, has deposed the prince and deprived the prince of his title and fief to punish the prince and sever the relationship with the Qin state. Not only that, in order to apologize to the king, and in order to renew the friendship between Chu and Han, the widow decided to cede the ten cities north of Luyang to the Chu state, and was willing to live for the king. ”

Xiong Huai's face suddenly sank, slammed the table, and said angrily: "Uncle, is the widow a person who forgets his righteousness and covets land in the eyes of the Korean monarch and minister?" Could it be that the friendship between Chu and South Korea, in the eyes of Korean monarchs and ministers, can be measured by just ten cities? ”
